Commit 05f4c350 "NFS: Discover NFSv4 server trunking when mounting"
Fri Sep 14 17:24:32 2012 introduced Uniform Client String support,
which forces our NFS client to establish a client ID immediately
during a mount operation rather than waiting until a user wants to
open a file.
Normally machine credentials (eg. from a keytab) are used to perform
a mount operation that is protected by Kerberos. Before 05fc350,
SETCLIENTID used a machine credential, or fell back to a regular
user's credential if no keytab is available.
On clients that don't have a keytab, performing SETCLIENTID early
means there's no user credential to fall back on, since no regular
user has kinit'd yet. 05f4c350 seems to have broken the ability
to mount with sec=krb5 on clients that don't have a keytab in
kernels 3.7 - 3.9.
To address this regression, commit 4edaa308 (NFS: Use "krb5i" to
establish NFSv4 state whenever possible), Sat Mar 16 15:56:20 2013,
was merged in 3.10. This commit forces the NFS client to fall back
to AUTH_SYS for lease management operations if no keytab is
available.
Neil Brown noticed that, since root is required to kinit to do a
sec=krb5 mount when a client doesn't have a keytab, we can try to
use root's Kerberos credential before AUTH_SYS.
Now, when determining a principal and flavor to use for lease
management, the NFS client tries in this order:
1. Flavor: AUTH_GSS, krb5i
Principal: service principal (via keytab)
2. Flavor: AUTH_GSS, krb5i
Principal: user principal established for UID 0 (via kinit)
3. Flavor: AUTH_SYS
Principal: UID 0 / GID 0
